Can't reach you

The Kiss

Hello! This is my first fanfic ever for IBO! I watched it and now I really couldn't resist, so here is my first fanfic in....around 5 years XD

This is planned to be a three part series that progresses through the anime episodes. This first one takes place just post Ep 13, Season 1. It's all in my favourite genre of angst as I dunno, I don't think this pairing could ever be totally happy if we take all the stuff that happens with Mika and other people in the anime as cannon. (And his personality and outlook on romantic relationships.)

It didn't take too long for the gossip to reach Orga's ears. Pretty much everyone had heard what had happened between Kudelia and Mikazuki within days. You'd think with everything that was going on, there were more pressing matters but actually because of this more light hearted subjects such as this spread like wildfire.

"Apparently they kissed!"
"Whoa really? Man, Mikazuki-san's really getting in there! What a man!!"
"D-do you think they did...other stuff?"
"Huh? Like that?"
"Y-you know..."

Orga managed to walk by to overhear the conversation by some of the younger boys. Infact, it had been the 3rd time today he had heard someone talk about the happenings between the black haired boy and the princess, though it had ranged from they hugged to they had full blown sex and everything inbetween.

It did sound a bit like simple gossip with no ground to it, like what happened a lot here but for some reason it made him irritated. He was aware it was unreasonable for him to feel this way, as Mikazuki's best friend he should be happy that his friend seemed to be developing a romantic relationship with someone. But it was bugging him and as the day went on, his mood was being eaten away more and more by the feeling in his chest and by evening people seemed to get wind of his mood and were trying to avoid him discreetly. Even Biscuit looked like he wanted to say something to him when they passed in the hallway, but after giving him a look seemed to have decided not to say whatever he had on the tip of his tongue.

Orga felt like that was a good thing- he wasn't in any mood to talk to anyone anyway as he probably would end up snapping at them and he knew that wasn't fair. He pretty much locked himself in his office, only engaging in the minimum verbal contact with others when it was absolutely necessary.

Get a grip on yourself... This isn't what real men do...

There was a thousand things he probably should be spending his energies on thinking about right now which wasn't the romance situation of his childhood friend. But as much as he tried not to think about it, it stuck on the front of his thoughts.

He waited until everyone had eaten to go and grab some food, not that he really felt hungry even though he hadn't eaten all day. He just felt like it would be bad to go all day without so out of necessity rather than need he made his way down to the canteen.

Atra handed him the tray she seemed to have dished up prior specially for him, like she knew he was going to be late. Well it wasn't too unusual he didn't eat the same time with others. She had a weird look on her face too and an uneasy, awkward air around her. Like she was pretending everything was okay but it wasn't. Like she knew she had no right to be upset or anything but couldn't feel like that from the bottom of the heart.

You and me both huh? Though I guess she probably has more right than me to feel like this...

Atra was hovering around idly as Orga ate.

This is kinna awkward in another way...

"Hey Atra, you can go. I'll wash up after myself, don't worry about it."
"Are you sure? It's no problem I can..."
"Nah, I might be a while so go ahead."
"O...okay..."
